The God Haters, Part 3: Judgmentalism

John D 30 January 2015 30 January 2015Faith and Hope, False Christianity, Truth

Judgmentalism is the brother of slander. 41 For whosoever shall give you a cup of water to drink in my name, because ye belong to Christ, verily I say unto you, he shall not lose his reward. ~ Mk 9:41 I’m amazed at how people can engage in slander…

Yemen and the King of the South

John D 29 January 2015 29 January 2015Middle East, Prophecy

Changes in leadership in both Saudi Arabia and Yemen have spawned all sorts of wacky ideas. The news is out about Yemen’s Obama-backed government falling. The biggest surprise is that the US administration is surprised. There are several commentators acknowledging the “slow coupe” that has been going on. Protests by…

The God Haters, Part 2: Spreading Lies and Propaganda

John D 27 January 2015 27 January 2015Faith and Hope, False Christianity, Truth

Something to remember on the 70th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz and Birkenau in Poland. His primary rules were: never allow the public to cool off; never admit a fault or wrong; never concede that there may be some good in your enemy; never leave room for alternatives; never…

The God Haters, Part 1: Hath God Said?

John D 26 January 2015 26 January 2015Faith and Hope, False Christianity, Nature of Man, Truth

John D 23 January 2015 23 January 2015Prophecy

With the news that “Saudi Arabia’s King Abdullah bin Abdulaziz dies“, it is a good time to review just what Saudi Arabia’s future role will be. Daniel 11 notes a struggle down through the ages and into the end times between two major powers: The King of the North and…

John D 20 January 2015 20 January 2015Basic Christianity, Holidays or Holy Days, Humility

Tonight, at 9:00 pm (21:00 for you Europeans) EST, the President will address Congress (and the nation) via a yearly ritual called the “State of the Union Address”. Is there a parallel within Christianity?

Choose Your Battles?

John D 14 January 2015 14 January 2015Attitude

The popular saying is to choose/pick your battles, but how should that really apply in a Christian’s life? Well, it has been interesting here in Ohio of late. Recently, a transgender teen took their life, and their story went international. Yesterday, the news broadcast an arrest of someone threatening Ohio…

Would You Hire These Liars to Teach Your Children? (aka “Leap Seconds and Leaps of Logic”)

John D 11 January 2015 11 January 2015Calendar, False Christianity

Some people obviously worship a “god” who approves of liars. Bob Thiel’s need to approval and recognition keeps pushing at the boundaries of truth so hard that they break. I’ve taken the liberty of taking a screenshot of the article in question, “Norman Edwards: The Church of God needs more…

Self-Refuting “Biblical Calendar” Arguments

John D 6 January 2015 6 January 2015Calendar

This is an attempt to collate some of the more popular arguments for a supposed biblical calendar. There isn’t enough room in all of the blogs in the world to try to store all of the fanciful imaginations of people, so I only want to concentrate on a few I’ve…
